Alas for the days of wheezy, when everything _worked_!!
Wheezy is LTS (though admittedly more successfully for servers), so if
everything Just Worked, and you liked it, why did you change? There are
indeed valid reasons, but what is yours?
I sense Alan expects everyone here has read and remembers every post he has
written. He told us his, though indirectly:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/09/msg00296.html
Synopsis:
Wheezy was on old puter, with mature hardware supported by FOSS.
Jessie is on new (unspecified model) Dell (with Win10), with unknown hardware
with unknown FOSS support.
New puter's design date is *probably* newer than Jessie, which would mean
problems can be *expected*, because he's not tried an OS that's newer than
his puter, such as Stretch.
Win10 works without problems because Dell made sure of it. Dell didn't do
that with Jessie or any other Debian, and probably with no other Linux either.
If Alan wants serious help, he needs to stop keeping his hardware info
secret. Ordinarily I would expect he could share the copious output provided
by alsa-info.sh, but it seems to be absent from Jessie, so he would need to
find it elsewhere in order to run it, e.g.:
